Her hair was like gold and she was as sweet as sugar roses and as good as her mother, who had been like a saint - The Conquerors,Thomas B. Costain, p. 43
She and her sister were placed in the nunnery of Rumsey by their uncle Edgar the AEthling after the death of their parents and Donald Bane had taken the throne. Their aunt Christina was abbess and there they were raised. - The Conquerors,Thomas B. Costain, p. 44;
Known as Good Queen Mold; Matilda Dunkeld MATILDA (EDYTHA, EADGITH), daughter of MALCOLM III & MARGARET
She was undoubtedly one of the busiest queens England ever had. In addition to the supervision of the royal household and the part she played in the councils of the King (she must have been consulted continually, for her signature appears on more writs even that that of Eudes, the sewer), she was left with state responsibilities for many long stretches when Henry crossed the Channel to fight a never-ending series of wars with his brother Robert of Normandy and the French King. She was as pious as her sainted mother had been, spending much time at her prayers and going each day in Lent to Westminster Abbey with bare feet and dress of the coarsest haircloth to pary
and wash the feet of the poor. And of course she brought several children into the world. ... She was fond of dress, as all beautiful women are, and was responsible for many innovations, as is always true of queens, beautiful or not ... She was one of the first, if not the first, to wear the full circular skirt which fell to the feet in volumninous folds, and to make use of cords and tassels under the cloak to hold that necessary article in place ... lacing went out completely, and loose-fitting bodices came back into favor at court. ... It is recorded that Queen Matilda had a pleasant voice and that she encouraged the visits of minstrels and poets at court. Henry was fond of them
also. It is certian, however, that in his absence many a gallant waxed unusually eloquent as he sought to please with his sirventes the queen whose delicate features reflected none of the coarseness of the Saxon face. It is even more certain, however, that her interest was confined to the quality of the voices and the poetic merit of the lines and never in the singers
themselves. Matilda was a good wife as well as a queen above reproach. - The Conquerors,Thomas B. Costain, p. 54
Before marrying the king, the princess made a stiupulation. Before she would leave the nunnery, he must sign a charter which Englishmen had been parying for, a guarantee of the rights of indivuals and a promise to relinquish some at least of the dictatorial practices of his father and borhter; in other words, a return to constitutional rule as understood in the time of Edward the Confessor. Henry agreed and the Charter was duly signed. It was a great historic document .. The Charter of Henry I was the forerunner of Magna Charta
and as such should be ranked high among the historic documents of all time. - The Conquerors,Thomas B. Costain, pp 55-56

As a child, Matilda had been "veiled" in the nunery at Romsey, but
protested to the church after Henry indicated marrage might be
possible. The English people so loved the possibility that the blood
of the old Britonay Kings might be united with that of the new Saxony
king, that the desision was an easy one for the church. They released
her from her vows and she married King Henry.
